Pink Confetti Cupcakes

A few weeks ago I made cupcake for Pink Ballerina Party. Let’s just say, this 5-year-old girl was the cutest thing I had ever seen. When she saw the cupcakes she exclaimed “PRETTY!” And attacked me with a hug. Precious.

Because strawberries are not in season right now, I used frozen berries. I let them thaw, drained off the water from the melted ice, and then threw them into the blender. If you plan to use a piping tip other than a basic circle, make sure you strain your puree to remove any seeds that could clog the tip. Good luck!

This was for my niece’s birthday! I follow your blog and suggested to my sister-in-law to check you out since you are in the Provo area. Glad it all worked out. The cupcakes look perfect and I heard they were a big hit! Glad Leah’s birthday made the blog! 😀

OMG best cupcakes ever! My friend told me about this website and I found these cupcakes on here, which I thought would be perfect for my daughter’s first birthday party. I am not a big fan of cake because of the icing, but let me tell you this was the best icing I have ever tasted! These cupcakes were delicious and super cute! Thanks for the great recipe!

First, I love your website and made your Butterfinger Cupcakes the other day—delicious! Second, my friend just had a baby girl and I am so excited to make these for her this week! But I do have one question: what is strawberry gelatin? Is that strawberry jello mix or something else? Sorry—a relatively new baker! Thanks!

I love this recipe (well all of yours)! After my third or fourth time I tweaked it a lil and added lemon zest, filled the cupcakes with a simple homemade strawberry compote, and WOW. New favorite amongst my family and friends! Thanks for the great recipes and ideas!!

So this past weekend I made cupcakes for my niece’s 7th Birthday Hello kitty/zebra print party… she wanted pink confetti cupcakes….so your recipe inspired me. I used my own vanilla cake recipe, added pink & black jimmies. My niece also loves berries, so my frosting was raspberries & strawberry….I topped it with a hello kitty fondant…they were huge hit! I now have 3 orders for the same cupcake! Thanks for being an inspiration.

These cupcakes look so nice and delicious! I’m thinking of trying them for Valentine’s day but I have a few questions: If I use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour, do I need to omit anything else? What difference would cake flour make over all-purpose flour? And would heart shaped sprinkles work?

Wow I just came across your blog and Im in love!! I love making cupcakes and now I want to try and make all of your cupcakes!! I was looking for a strawberry frosting to make for some cupcakes I’m going to make for Valentines Day! I plan on blogging about it on my blog and I will totally put a link back you your blog so my followers can check your site out!! I can’t wait to try the frosting!
Have a Wonderful day 🙂

[…] Directions:Combine the egg whites, oil, milk, sour cream, and vanilla gently with a whisk. Then sift in your cake mix and sprinkles and gently stir. Fill 24 cupcake liners 3/4 full with cupcake batter and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean).Adapted from Your Cup of Cake […]

Hi there, these cupcakes are soooo cute!!!! My sister’s 8th birthday is coming up and she wants a strawberry confetti cake with chocolate frosting. Do you have any suggestions on how to make this cake with strawberries instead of plain vanilla?
Thanks for your help!

I JUST made these cupcakes for a little girl’s sixth birthday – second batch is literally in the oven right now – and I’m thinking I must have done something wrong. The batter was very thick – concerningly so – and tasted a little gummy, floury, and none too sweet. Though I was not confident, I went forward and baked them anyway. The resulting cupcakes taste, feel, and look like plain muffins. I consider myself a pretty darn good baker and I don’t think I made any mistakes based on the instructions (apart from actually adding the vanilla, since the instructions made no mention of it)…any guidance!? Thanks 🙂
